Ever Since Chapter 261 Was Released, I've Seen A Lot Of Takes On The Course Of Action Of The Manga. And

Ever since chapter 261 was released, I've seen a lot of takes on the course of action of the manga. And most importantly, I've seen a lot of posts about how Gojo was not the only person wronged and dehumanised in the entire series. And I do agree with them, to some extent. Because yes, a lot of other characters did not get the ending they deserved. Yes, Yuji had also become a weapon for the jujutsu society. Yes, Geto's body was used against his consent to do unspeakable things. And there are many more instances in the entire series that show such tragic events.

So how is what happened with Gojo different? Well, if you would look at it, what happened with all the other good characters was a consequence of the actions of the bad guys, the antagonists. Yuji? Taken over by Sukuna. Geto? Taken over by Kenjaku. Junpei? Killed by Mahito. Mai? Killed by the Zen'ins. Nanami? Killed by Mahito. On the other hand, the 'taking over Gojo's body and using it as a weapon' was not orchestrated by any of the villains, but rather by the good guys of the story. Gojo's own allies came up with this plan. And yes, Gojo may have agreed to this plan, but no one else objected to it. How could Gojo disagree to a plan that no one else saw a fault with? He was the strongest, after all. If he could not beat Sukuna while he lived, he would have to do so after he died. I think we are more appalled by the fact that it was Yuta who took over Gojo's body and not Kenjaku. You would not expect a bad guy to have a moral compass, because, that's their whole shtick. Causing mayhem, spreading evil and all. But when a good guy breaks the barriers of morality, how are we supposed to react? Not positively, I suppose.

Do I blame Yuta? OF COURSE NOT. He was the only guy who stood up for Gojo, who understood the injustice he had to go through his entire life to protect others. His whole life as a sorcerer, Yuta had been compared to Gojo, as someone who stood as high as the Strongest. So if neither Gojo nor him could beat Sukuna, the responsibility to win by hook or crook, the responsibility to take over as the role of the monster fell on his shoulders. He lost his own self in this plan. This plan of his affected only the people who held the mantle of being 'monsters'. After all, which monster has the honour of bearing humanity?

So, do I have to like what happened? Of course not. Do I understand why it had to happen? Yes, yes I do. No sorcerer is a hero. But the fact that they don't have the right to remain a human is just the most unfair of all things.

Fuck this shit. I'm moving on to that other show with gojo and megumi. Hopefully they'll get a better ending there.

SPOILER FOR JJK MANGA!!!

Okay hear me out, I truly want Gojo to be alive. If my url doesn't make it obvious, then let me say it- I am a die hard Gojo fan (not one of the deranged ones, you know which ones I'm talking about), and I'm all for Gojo being alive and kicking. But if Gojo returns for a round 2 with Sukuna, it will RUIN the progress Yuji has made. Gojo's return to the fight can only yield two results- either he'll win, or he'll lose. In the first case, the purpose of Yuji's character as the mc would be utterly destroyed, and the second one will prove to be a disgrace to Gojo's character. Both the cases are, all in all, a lose-lose situation. The thing is, I wish that Gojo had never lost the way he did. I wish he hadn't died the way he did. But that's the thing. He lost, and that's that. I wish that he hadn't lost when he did, but bringing him back now will most probably be a bad move. I hope he'll be alive by the end of the story and all of that, but don't disregard the things all the characters, including gojo and especially yuji, have been through. Even if Gojo doesn't return, he will still be the strongest to me, and I won't be able to see his character be dragged through the mud again just because of a poor move by the mangaka.

So a few days ago I was scrolling on insta and saw a reel related to jjk. I read the whole damn text on it but didn't understand jackshit. It was not a jjk reel. It was a reel about some horror movie (well jjk is progressing like a horror movie too but whatever). I thought it was a jjk reel because I read the word lobotomized on it. LOBOTOMIZED. BECAUSE OF THE WHOLE LOBOTOMY KAISEN SHTICK. WHAT THE FUCK HAS THE JJK FANDOM DONE TO MY BRAIN
